Product Description
This BBC comedy sitcom Gavin and Stacey features a romantic, off-beat, boy-meets-girl story.
Gavin is an ordinary boy from England, Stacey is an ordinary girl from Wales. They speak every day on the phone at work, and yet they've never met... until now. But when Gavin and Stacey finally meet and their ordinary worlds come together, we see, through their families, their friends and their differences, that there's no such thing as 'ordinary' after all.
Written by and starring Ruth Jones (Nighty Night, Little Britain) and James Corden (The History Boys), the series also features Mathew Horne (Catherine Tate, Roman's Empire), Joanna Page (Gideon's Daughter, Love Actually), Rob Brydon, Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb and Melanie Walters.

A true modern day romance.Top marks to the 4 lead charactors,especially Ruth Jones as Ness'.[It took me ages to work out where I had seen Ruth Jones before then I realised she was Linda in Nighty Night]
Alison Steadman is the true gem in this show though, '3 steaks Pam' how that cracked me up.
Then here pushing poor put upon husband Mick to Tescos to get Linda McCartney bits in case anybody was a vegge.That is something my own mother has done in the past so I near had a heart attck through laughing that much.
I have a habit of always looking at the supporting cast rather than the main stars so Uncle Bryn,again was another marvel in this.
When he listed off all of Staceys ex-fiancees,and pronounced the name Ahmed in a true welsh fashion,again,comedy gold.'He even sends me a Christmas card and they[muslims]don't even celebrate it!'
As soon as Season 2 comes out I will be buying it.

Somehow I had managed to totally miss out on G&S when it was on TV. I had heard that it was good but never actually caught a single episode.
So I got this DVD - and I was instantly hooked and ended up watching all 6 episodes back to back in a single sitting. It is stunning - well written, great characters, great actors (Rob Brydon is a genius) and life-affirming charming.
I haven't been so bowled over by a British comedy so since Phoenix Nights or Spaced.
I'm now off to get the DVD of the second series.

Thought I'd have a quick peep when it dropped on my doormat, ended up watching all six episodes in the same day! Can't wait to watch the second series.
A great series that thankfully doesn't fall into the obvious sit com scenarios that you think it's going to.
